VS2008 silently dies A LOT when working with WPF

When working in VS2008 (C#) does VS2008 silently crash for anybody when working with WPF? If I touch the XAML it is most likely to crash. I can come back in, clean, then build, then run and it work until I have to touch the XAML again. Then start over again.

It is a solution with about 12 projects in it.

Thanks, jeff

I found the problem to be with the AnkhSvn plug-in. I went to a nightlybuild and it is working good now. Anything above 2.0.6110.379.

I know, it's not nice, but simply cleaning the solution works for me. At least until the next restart of VS, but until then you shouldn't get any crashes.

VS crashes at my computer very often: several times per day when I work with WPF. But usually it stops responding and I don't remember it to crash silently.

We suffer the same problems... I noticed that resharper makes things worse for the WPF editor from time to time...

Ah well.. a daily VS crash keeps the doctor away ?

SP1 solves a bit of the crashes, but indeed it crashes a lot. Especially when you mix and match winforms + WPF. The crashes alone were a reason to stick with winforms for a while for us ...

Workaround:

Found real workaround at http://www.dotnet6.com/blogs/wesley_walraeve/archive/2008/10/22/visual-studio-2008-sp1-crashes-toolbox-gt-choose-items.aspx, which was removing TFS Power Commands 2008. Other people have had to remove other things.

I and some other people at my company have had a lot of problems when editing a resource dictionary and while a XAML window that uses that resource dictionary is open. Moral of the story, close all XAML windows if you're going to edit a resource dictionary.
